Its two largest divisions, packaging (folding cartons, corrugated boxes) and coated and specialty papers (labels, book/catalog/magazine papers, business forms) account for about 85% of sales. MeadWestvaco also makes school supplies (paper, Five Star, Xpanz, Trapper Keeper notebooks), consumer office products (AT-A-GLANCE, Cambridge), and specialty chemicals (activated carbons, asphalt emulsifiers, tall oil). Former Mead shareholders control 50.2% of the company.
